Ukraine's first ballistic missile test marks new defence milestone
Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine has successfully tested its first domestically produced ballistic missile.
During a press conference, Volodymyr Zelensky was asked about the latest achievements of the defence industry. "It may be too early to talk about it but I want to share it with you. There has been a positive test of the first Ukrainian ballistic missile. I congratulate our defence industry on this. I can’t share any more details about this missile," said Zelensky.
The President of Ukraine also added that he cannot say more about this but decided to share this information out loud so that society can appreciate the people who constantly work in defence enterprises.
Ukrainian victory plan
During the conference, Zelensky also said that the operation of the Defence Forces in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation is one of the directions of the Ukrainian victory plan.
- "Kursk Oblast is part of our plan for Ukraine's victory... There are some things I cannot discuss... Kursk Oblast is one of the plan's directions, with some already being implemented. The second direction concerns Ukraine's strategic position in the global security infrastructure. The third strategy is to use diplomatic means to coerce Russia into ending the war," said Zelensky.
The last direction of the plan, according to Zelensky, is the economy. He also said that the plan is ready.
